We are fighting to #SavePublicServices. Thousands of AFSCME members have taken action by calling or writing their senators to tell them not to make drastic cuts to public services to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

But as Congress continues to debate these cuts, we need to keep up the pressure! Because this is about so much more than protecting the services our communities depend on.

It’s about fighting for the 15 million people — working families, children, seniors and vulnerable Americans — who will lose their health care if Congress slashes the budget. It’s about protecting Medicare, food assistance, and the programs many of us depend on to survive.  

Join us by emailing your senators and making your voice heard. It's easy and takes just a few minutes using the tool here. After you enter your information, the form will identify your senators, provide a draft email (which you are free to use, edit or replace), and send it.

It only takes a few minutes. Together, our voices can't be ignored.

We know that our communities are safer, healthier and stronger when public service workers – people like our nurses, paramedics, 911 operators, teachers and sanitation workers – have the freedom to join a union and speak up together for their communities. But in 25 states they lack the freedom to negotiate for better pay, benefits and working conditions.
